Fall Foilage, Singing, and a Gown

Last year we started a tradition of driving down the Colonial Parkway that connects Yorktown, Jamestown and Williamsburg (the Historic Triangle for you non-Virginians). It's a bumpy little road through beautiful trees. We took some fun pictures of Natalie and our family.




This afternoon we got home from church and Natalie started singing "Hallelujah Praise Ye The Lord". You have to listen to this video to hear her funny intonations.

Lastly, I spent the afternoon/early evening completing Peyton (The Marderosian's)Christening gown. She will be wearing it this January. If you don't remember, I made it from her mom Kelly's wedding gown. I am so pleased with the end result. I had to add and change some things in the pattern (we didn't want the collar so I added trim) and I put hook and eyes and 'fake' button details on the back that were not included. I also added the beaded lace overlay that was a part of her dress. I'm so happy with the results.

These are some cute pics!
Ok a link to the onesie I was talking about is http://www.polkadotpatch.com/little-man-baby-dress-up-navy-or-green-striped-tiny-tie-infant-onesie.html. I would want a long sleeve onesie, though, and the one I saw had a larger knot (it was sort of big in porportion to the rest of the tie...) Anyways check it out and lets talk about it soon. Hilary
